People think, 'You're an actor, you can afford clothes,' but I just try to take the clothes from the movie, which makes the selecting of film projects that much more difficult, because you try to play characters that might wear something you'd want to wear.

I have the opportunity to learn about the fashion world, and I appreciate it as an art form... But I never want it to take over my acting.

I had no idea how to make it as an actor. But I knew I wanted to.

As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.

You know, even working actors can end up having a lot of spare time. And you can either go sit at the Starbucks and wait for your agent to call you, or you can go learn how to build a Shaker blanket chest with hand-cut dovetails.

Unfortunately, most actors want to play off their own personal mystique and good looks and whatever, but that will only carry you but so far.

I don't know what I'm qualified to do, film-wise... So it's really down to a director or a casting director to find something that they think I could do.

I definitely don't see myself as an actor. I don't even have it on my passport. I've got 'writer and electrician' on my passport. I don't want anyone to think I'm an actor.

I don't know how I could have an acting career with this.

If you're a young person who wants to become an actor, it's really important to walk into a casting room with a sense of yourself and some life experience. You can really delight a room and have them already choose you before you've even said a word!
